Weightlifting diet

**Cap dat 4ss** · 11-04-10, 08:45 AM

If your losing weight but not abd. fat then you're losing muscle mass instead of fat. Scales are horrible indicators of progress because it can't differ between fat and muscle loss, kinda important. You can't spot lose fat.

Start eating healthy 500ish calorie meals every 3 hours and kill the free weights. Do sprints for cardio. That fat will come off.

Cap dat knows what to do. I would suggest that

**BIGDAY** · 11-04-10, 09:58 AM

Do some research on supps. I'm in the gym all the time! Great way to get rid of the stress from a bad day of bets!! There are some great tredmil workouts out there to shed fat. I personally hate them so I stick to the weights. If you have a clean enough diet, weights are enough with the right supps.
Best of Luck!!

Add cardio to your workout routine

**jjgold** · 11-04-10, 10:12 AM

bodybuilding.com forums... use the search function... its a good site, all you need.

**sjm5122** · 11-04-10, 10:20 AM

1000 calories seems like too little, depriving yourself of the necessary amount of food will only put your body into 'starvation' mode, which in turn causes your body to want to store fat. Someone mentioned above me to space your meals out. Make your three main meals smaller but throw in a healthy snack between each.

like others said this is the wrong forum

we are gamblers here

**Dutch** · 11-04-10, 10:26 AM

Cardio. Keep raising the bar.

**harlee71** · 11-04-10, 10:42 AM

High protein diet and cutting cals, Lifting and a lot of cardio mixed with a cycle of two of T3 and you will be golden. No more stomach fat!

Amblai01........it was a great post too.

**rem sleep** · 11-04-10, 11:25 AM

you can do all the crunches in the world but it wont give you a 6 pack. you gotta burn those calories off and the best way is to jog until you have a good sweat going. Try to run and do crunches and you'll lose that beer belly

Everything you mentioned above has no carbs except milk and cutting carbs is the quickest way to lose fat along with weights and cardio...

As other posters have said lift weights, do sprints for cardio, and keep your carbs low like the example above... This takes time and you MUST be consistant..

I would say supps are very over hyped... I see people drinking these protein shakes and think to myself "these people really don't know how the body works"... The body can "process" as many grams of protien as you give it but the body can only "USE" a small fraction of the protien... If you are lifting consistantly and heavy my guess is your body would use about 7-10 grams per hour... The body also does not use the protien as you took it but breaks it down into amino acids and reassembles the amino acids into a protien chain that it can then aborb and use...

To gain actual lean muscle of 10 or more pounds it will take at least a year and there is no other way around it... It's my experience that lifting heavy as often as possible is better for strength and size but most of the size you gain will be your body aborbing carbs if your meals contain a lot of them... If your meals do not contain a lot of carbs then you will gain definition or your body will resort to burning fat... I've done it both ways but again if you are not consistant it doesn't matter...

MYTH: The body does NOT burn muscle for fuel until you are near death, if you are starving...

**k13** · 11-04-10, 12:01 PM

How old are you?

1000 calories is no good for anyone,

its not that easy to lose fat AND gain muscle at the same time

thus why most people either cut or bulk

10 lbs in a year for a lifting rookie? Cmon man sounds like you don't know how the body works. I've seen people gain 10 lbm pounds in 5 weeks off just Superdrol verified by testing. With pinning, even more and one gram of protein per pound of lean body mass is optimal for highest amount lean mass gain.

Most people giving advice here on health issues can't run 1 mile or bench press 100 lbs.

**harlee71** · 11-04-10, 12:04 PM

The diet you are on. Cardio cardio cardio! Lift and a cycle or two of T3 You will burn fat off your body and keep your muscle. When your ready to bulk after that. Eat 1000 cals over maintenance and cycle in Andro. You will be cut and lean.

**Jrod124** · 11-04-10, 12:30 PM

yeah u gotta post your age. That is one of the more important factors in posters being able to provide advice

**ttwarrior1** · 11-04-10, 01:10 PM

you need to do stomach work , not overtrain, and lower carbs are best for weightloss. Try superslow weightlifting

Verified testing..? What or how was it tested...? I don't buy the 10lbs. in 5 weeks... A lifting rookie could get a lot stronger but that does not mean there is muscle mass being gained to the degree that you are talking about...

There are other things that happen which can make the rookie stronger... The rookies nerve impluses become stronger and the muscles absorb more carbs then before the rookie began lifting...

This sounds like an add from the back of a muscle magazine...

Ok "Mr. Optimal" is that one gram per lean body mass per day, per hour, or per meal..? Also, I am guessing that BONES don't factor into this "lean body mass" that you are talking about so if it's just actual muscle mass then that's not very much protien is it..?

**whatsgood5** · 11-04-10, 01:23 PM

Ya need some cardio my man.

Creatine if ya wanna get stronger too.....

I mean lean body mass as in your weight - your weight in fat = lbm. If you weigh 200 lbs and are 10% bodyfat, your lbm would be 180 lbs. Things like Superdrol and pinning mixed with a proper diet for growth can produce results like I said above as they alter the natural body extremely. I wasn't trying to take a shot at you or even recommend things like that for a novice who doesn't research what he's getting into. The protein number was a range for the daily total.

Good advice here, and check out the wannabebig.com forums, great site, guys really know what there talking about, and really help you out.

What you are referring to by cutting fat and gaining muscle at the same time is a recomp. This cant be sustained for very long, and it seems like you did it with success going from 225-205 and adding muscle, but this will only work for so long in the beginning.

At some point you need to decide to add mass (bulk), or lose fat (cut). To bulk you need to eat above your maintience calories, and to cut you need to eat under. Your maintience calories are how many calories your body can take in and not gain or lose wieght (something you will need to figure out through trial and error). After you make initial muscle gains you cant gain muscle unless you are eating a surplus of calories. In either case you should be taking in around 1g of protien for each lb of bodyweight to preserve or gain muscle mass.

Dont get too caught up in supplements, most of them are just marketing gimics. Just stick to a solid protien supp.

Eating 1000 calories a day is NOT good, even if your goal is just to lose fat. Doing this will destroy your metabolism, and if you are not taking in enough calories to feed your muscles you will lose muscle mass along with the fat.

Most of the time your stomach is the first place you gain fat and the last place you lose it, I am the same way. I would look into Carb Cycling and High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT Cardio). I have used both with success in firming up my stomach.

It's not about a "daily" total it's about how much and how often... What's I'm saying is if you eat 4 meals a day each containning 50 grams of protein (200 daily) it would not be as effective as if you ate 7 meals a day each containing 20 grams (140 daily)... In both cases you are wasting some protein but you are wasting less with the later..

I would say 10-15 grams (depending on your muscle mass) PER HOUR for 10 hours a day is ideal but not practical...

**BatemanPatrickl** · 11-04-10, 03:57 PM

1.5 grams of Protein per pound of body weight. Cardio. Being JJ's ghost also helps.

**Kaabee** · 11-04-10, 04:03 PM

cardio is the only thing that helps with stomach fat. situps do not help. you will not burn fat with situps.

**WvGambler** · 11-04-10, 05:34 PM

Was a weightlifter for many years....if youre doing it seriously, then you need to be eating around 3000 or more calories of good food. Chicken, fish, protein. Tons of water and listen to tons of the Misfits.....Danzig Misfits. Also f\*\*k as much as you can....top position.
